Flora | Confections & Pastries

offers traditional and contemporary French-inspired confections. All of our products are hand-crafted, combining elegant style with subtle and refined taste. We travel extensively in search of new ideas and the ingredients that make our confections desserts in themselves. But as a Chicago-based company, we are also within arm's reach of many local ingredients that rival anything we have tasted in our travels. At Flora, we use no preservatives and rely as much as possible on the local farmers who bring their products twice a week to Chicago's Green City Market, recognized as one of the finest farmer's markets in the country. Visit our friends at Mick Klug, Seedling Fruit, Hillside Farms, Green Acres, and Ellis Farm. You'll see why Chicago is great place to make pate de fruit and fruit flavored ganaches.
